Great for teens! My daughter loved the speed. Saw one whale pretty close but others kept their distance. Crew did their best to find more. Worth it, but bring snacks.

Did this solo, no regrets. Whales up close, staff super friendly. Even let me sit up front for better pics! Dress warm, it’s COLD.

Went with my partner, both first timers for whale watching. Boat was nice, toilet was a bit stinky but not a dealbreaker. We saw whales but only for a short time, captain tried really hard to find them. Blankets were a nice touch.

Went with my brother and my dad (he’s a whale nerd) and it was COLD but the crew handed out blankets which helped a lot. We actually saw a humpback breaching, which was a first for us. It felt like the boat was rocking a bit much but nobody seemed to mind. There’s a bar but I just stuck to hot chocolate. Crew was chatty, knew so much. Would go again tbh, just bring extra socks.

Highlight of our Iceland trip! Puffins, whales, dolphins—all in one day. Crew was super friendly, gave us hot drinks and tips for spotting the animals.

Nice trip overall. Puffins were cute but hard to see. Whale watching was better, saw two whales and dolphins. Staff was helpful and fun.

Fun evening out. Whale watching was cool, lights were a bit weak but still worth it. Staff was friendly and gave out blankets.
